An anthology of poetry, prose and photographs from the Great Central Valley, whose local highway -- #99 -- still connects the vineyards in the northern valley to the orange groves south of Fresno, even as the larger, faster interstate becomes the through traffic's road of choice. Most of the book's contributors are living writers and artists who call the valley home, but there are also selections by such canonical greats as John Muir, John Steinbeck and William Saroyan.  (CAL92, $18.95)
